How is this news. A car can be towed for several reasons other than mechanical problems.
It's not out yet and it's already been illegally parked
Yeah my first thought is if it's not for sale yet, then maybe this isn't a mechanical failure
As it's not released, it's probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.
Reading the article would indicate the truck was towed for being parked illegally.
its not good at cyber and its not good at truck. who is supposed to buy this useless thing?

Idiots
So people like Musk.
I’d’ve thought that’d be self evident.
This car reminds me so much of the one designed by Homer Simpson. Even Cybertruck as a model name makes me cringe, and this is coming from someone who quite likes the existing Tesla models.
It looks like someone drew the outline for it in crayon on a napkin, then demanded it be put into production.
More like some one stole from the set of some junky 80’s sci-fi action flick. damnation alley or maybe tango and cash…
It's very reminiscent of the "future cars" in Back to the Future 2
Yeah, but, I actually like BTTF2, so I wasn’t gonna go there.
I hate that I like the look of this truck. I hate everything else about it, and want to be fully on board with the hate train having fun poking at this monstrosity, but I just can’t help but have some shit taste when it comes to the look of trucks…
Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as "fun" to take care of as a boat.
I mean, if there goal was to recreate some 90’s era video game graphics for nostolgia. Megarace, maybe.
At least it's different. I can't tell one truck from another. GMC, Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, they look exactly the same.
And why do you want to join a hate train? Love trains are better ❤️
A stupid truck deserves a stupid headline, I guess?
It doesn't even deserve an article.
Why is this car rendered in such bad quality?
It just occurred to me that these things look sort of like the Zumwalt class stealth destroyers. Has anyone tested this thing against police radar guns? I mean it's still ugly as hell, but if it's harder for the cops to bust you for speeding...
The front is flat. It will be a perfect mirror for the radar. If anything it will be easier to lock on to.
I really don't understand why Musk insisted on bringing what should have been just a concept vehicle to market.
People put down money for it years ago.
Which Tesla never should have done. It should have always been just a proof of concept at best.
Pretty sure Tesla needed the cash flow from pre-orders.
